Our Care workers work in people’s own homes in the community and can support lots of different people including adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, dementia and other mental health conditions.
The duties are varied, and no two days will be the same. The people we care for are individuals, and they all deserve to be treated as such.
Duties may include supporting with personal care needs, such as helping them shower or take their medication, as well as helping them to take part in a wide range of special interests and activities that support their health and wellbeing e.g. crafts, watching the football, drama, musical evenings, gardening, shopping trips and social occasions.

You will need to be able to work under pressure calmly, as well as being able to work as part of a team. It would also be beneficial if you are organised, a good listener and are able to communicate well. Being able to use a smart phone and navigating around apps is also important, as this is how you will document your care tasks completed and view your roster.
You don’t necessarily need formal qualifications to become a care worker. What’s really important though are your values.
We might ask that you have qualifications showing good English and numeracy skills such as GCSE A-C in English and Maths. It might also be helpful to have a social care qualification such as a Level 2 or 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care. Don’t worry if you don’t have these qualifications though – if you’re interested, you can work towards them once you start the job.
